Three new species Brenthorrhinoides latipecteris sp. nov., B. angustipecteris sp. nov., B. magnoculi sp. nov. within the family Nemonychidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) are described and illustrated. All the fossils were recovered from the Yixian Formation (Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous) of western Liaoning Province, China. A brief review of fossil nemonychids and a key to species within the genus Brenthorrhinoides are provided. Furthermore, possible host plants to these ancient nemonychids are discussed.
